* AuthorsSavingThrow: Captain Phasma's infamous decision to disable Starkiller Base's shields at blaster-point in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' was widely mocked by fans who were previously led to believe that she was ultra-loyal to the First Order. This novel makes it explicitly clear that, in spite of the appearance of pure loyalty that she's presented herself with, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Phasma is willing to betray absolutely anyone in order to ensure her own survival]]. This has gone as far to making Phasma RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for many readers.

** Captain Cardinal. In a matter of less than 24 hours he finds out that Phasma, his colleague, is a far worse monster than he could have possibily imagined; that his mentor/father figure Brendol Hux was a genocidal bastard; that Phasma killed Brendol; that Armitage, Brendol's own son, not only knew that Phasma killed his father but even approved it and that both his superiors clearly favored Phasma over him, despite the fact that Cardinal is truly faithful to the First Order and a true role model, while Phasma is neither. At the end of the story, he desperatly tries to stay sane as these revelations clash with his years of devotion to a supposed rightseous cause that clearly no one but him actually believed.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Did Phasma always care only about herself or did she grew more and more selfish and sociopathic due to both despair in living in a CrapsackWorld and Brendol Hux's influence? After all she merely crippled her brother when she could have easily killed him back when they were young and at first seemed to want to move the Scyre to better lands.

** Subverted in that, in this instance, Phasma's betrayal to save herself makes no sense. Did she think her captors (a traitor and 2 old Rebel heroes) were going to let her go if she agreed to lower the shields of the base she was still currently in? That lowering the shields was just some funny prank on their part? That, somehow, helping them wouldn't endanger her own life in some way? This explanation makes no sense when one thinks about it.
*** When one considers she was outnumbered and at gunpoint, it makes a whole lot more sense. Resisting would've gotten her killed, and since survival is Phasma's number one priority...

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Captain Phasma's infamous decision to disable Starkiller Base's shields in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' was widely mocked by fans who were previously led to believe that she was ultra-loyal to the First Order. This novel makes it explicitly clear that, in spite of the appearance of pure loyalty that she's presented herself with, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Phasma is willing to betray absolutely anyone in order to ensure her own survival]]. This has gone as far to making Phasma RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for many readers.
